Aims: Psychiatric symptoms, sleeping problems and stress are increasing in Swedish adolescents. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that a combination of two potential stressors (i.e., high academic proficiency and high urbanicity) in a school setting would be related to increased stress levels and stress-related symptoms among pupils. Our second aim was to evaluate correlations between perceived stress and psychiatric symptoms, sleep quality and personality traits. Methods: 202 Swedish high-school students from two schools, one with high academic proficiency in the Metropolitan Malmö area and one of average academic proficiency in a medium-sized town, participated. We used Internet-based versions of the following questionnaires: Symptoms Checklist 90 (SCL-90) for general psychiatric symptoms, Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-14) for stress, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) for sleep quality and Eysenck Personality Index (EPI) for personality traits. Results: There was no significant difference between the schools in any of the measured scales. Significant correlations between perceived stress and GSI score, PSQI score and the personality trait Neuroticism were observed. Conclusions: This study suggests no difference between the high academic proficiency/metropolitan school and the average academic proficiency/medium-sized town school in perceived stress levels or stress-related psychiatric symptoms.

“…However, it is not always clear what effects different testing modes have on properties of test results. Some studies have shown that individuals are likely to respond more candidly to sensitive questions when asked by computer rather than when personally interviewed or when responding to a paper-and-pencil questionnaire (Evan & Miller, 1969; Marshall, Hays, & Nicholas, 1994; O'Brien & Dugdale, 1978; Sanitioso & Reynolds, 1992). Other studies have shown that computerized testing decreases the amount of candor (Angle, Johnson, Grebeenkemper, & Ellinwood, 1979; Lankford, Bell, & Elias, 1994; Schuldberg, 1988).…”

The effect of computerized testing on the candidness of self-reports was meta-analytically assessed. The authors proposed that respondents would reveal more embarrassing information when assessed by computer rather than when assessed in person or by paper-and-pencil measures. Results supported the hypothesis that asking questions about sensitive behaviors by computer produced more candid responding as compared with more traditional methods of assessment.
